The war on drugs started out as one man's way to pave his road to fame. He decided that people werent scared enough of anything so he made weed a killing, psychopath-creating, life-destroying thing. And then got that image firmly implanted in our grandparents' heads, and now they're in our heads.

DARE was started to counter a movement in the late 60s-70s to decriminalize marijuana. Carter was going to do it, and then an aide was involved in a drug scandal. BOOM! Weed is bad again, and in the next few years, up pops DARE.

God, it's pure stupidity, through and through.
